​Opening Up Pottery for Everyone!
​
We want to give our pottery family access to the kind of tools, equipment, and resources that are usually out of reach for most. Our aim is to provide everything you need to take your craft to the next level.
Over the years, we’ve seen so many of our students move beyond the classroom and continue their pottery journey. Some have invested in their own wheels, others have honed their hand-building skills — but they’ve all faced the same obstacle: access and affordability.
Pottery is wonderfully therapeutic and creatively rewarding, but it can quickly become an expensive pursuit. Materials, tools, and equipment — not to mention the cost and impracticality of installing a kiln at home — often hold people back.
That’s where we step in. We’re opening up our workshop and equipment to you, creating a shared space where the financial and logistical barriers are removed. Whether you're a hobbyist or an aspiring professional, you’ll have access to everything you need to explore new techniques, complete personal projects, and grow as a maker — without the hefty price tag.
Your creativity, our tools. Let’s make it happen.
Kiln Share
Introducing Our "Wee" Kiln
​
Say hello to our Skutt kiln — firing up to 1300°C with 16 fully programmable ramps. From simple low-fire bisque to tricky crystal glaze schedules, there's no job this wee beastie can’t handle.
Inner dimensions: 440mm wide x 440mm high
Shelf size: 370mm
​
Firing Options:
​
-
Half Kiln Load:
Two full shelves, with a maximum combined height of 220mm (including shelves). £50 per firing.
Please note: Half loads may be subject to a wait while we fill the rest of the kiln, and would follow standard schedules — either bisque or a cone 6 slow-cool. -
Full Kiln Load:
Typically up to four shelves, but you can mix and match heights however you like. Full loads aren’t restricted to our usual schedules, so you’re free to fire bisque, cone 10, crystal — whatever you fancy. £100 per firing.
If you’d like to book a firing or have a chat about your glaze schedule ideas, just get in touch!​​
Glazing Service
With a wide range of glazes and materials at our fingertips, we can quickly finish your pieces to a high standard. As you’ll know if you’ve worked with shop-bought premixed glazes or mixed your own, the costs can add up fast. If you’ve attended any of our classes, you’ve likely had a glimpse of what’s on offer — if not then drop us a message.
Purchase Clay/Materials
As a production pottery, we buy our materials in bulk, which means we benefit from a trade discounts, combined carriage — and we’re more than happy to pass those savings on to you. Whether you’re after a small amount of oxide, a premixed underglaze, or a full bag of clay, we’ve got your project covered, just drop us a message with what you need and we will help navigate the complex world of supplies.
